Putting the Fun in FuneralSome deaths come suddenly or too soon and can really hit hard, others seem to be a blessed relief. Similarly, some funerals can be deeply upsetting and sad, others can make you want to hug the world.
Mmm, don't want to bring you down or anything, but tell us your funeral stories...

First postso be gentle.
Grandad died when I was about 12. Wasn't allowed to go to the funeral, despite the fact that we were extremely close, so instead I had to go to school. Wandering around in a daze, one kid decided to take the p1ss out of it being his funeral. Next thing I know, he's on the floor, I'm on top of him trying to beat the snot out of him. It took three teachers to pry me off him.
A few years back, his wife (my nan) died. I was asked to be a pallbearer, but declined. My brother decided to do it. On the way to the grave, he decided to announce loudly that "she's a heavy old bird ain't she?"
apologies for crapness, I'm an amateur.
